Joe Malanti ,   Israel   (10.21.12)
Hi everyone. Please remind me not to be referred to the runt's Ma for medical help.
32. #19 Free tickets
tallo   (10.21.12)
The good people of Ashdod now can take pleasure in watching the exciting sideshow of a ship full of foreign lunatics dock at their harbor while more loonies kill each other in Syria, Iraq and Lebanon.
33. #30 whine from turks killing Kurds
tallo   (10.21.12)
"The IDF tried guns on the Mavi Mamara, and look how that turned out. "
34. A big change from paint guns
Jarred Stone ,   London UK   (10.21.12)
Tell this woman to stop whining,her son is a nasty traitor,he should be thrown in jail never to be released.Going against your own country is treachery no bones about it.The fruit doesn't fall far from the tree.Especially rotten fruit.
35. Mediterranean cruises
long away ,   Finland   (10.21.12)
I think people from the other countries shouldnt deal with this Israel and Gaza-case. We dont know enough about the real situation. It seems like some left-wing-politics from the Northern countryes wants to support their own political careers with this nice Mediterranean cruises. Anyway, this is not our busines at all.
36. the activists are pathetic
jack bauer   (10.21.12)
-----> Earlier in the day, Shapira's mother said she was proud of him, saying he was "a true Israeli patriot." "I wish more Israelis would do what he does. He follows his heart and his values… he doesn’t hate Israel. He's not a traitor. He's a bigger patriot than anyone else and he's much braver than a lot of people. <----- so, I think we can all safely see that the traitor doesnt fall far from the tree
37. #19
Alex   (10.21.12)
What a nice little illusion you're living, this event has been given very little media attention because people know it's in fact the activists breaking international law. Now crawl back into your cave.
38. Sara B number 29
Dov ben David ,   Eilat, Israel   (10.21.12)
Its very disapointing that our own government invent lies to us. What do they think, that we are idiots?
39. Blockade... It is not a state, Israel is the state.
Josh   (10.21.12)
Until it becomes its own autonomous state, it is just another neighborhood. Tazer away.
40. Is tasing terrorist romantics...
Ofer ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (10.21.12)
...working for a future where Hamas can freely import the weapons to murder Jews and Arabs alike, necessarily a bad thing? If you can´t take the heat, stay out of the kitchen. That simple.
41. #28 "secular self-hating Jews"
A ,   Belgium   (10.21.12)
Not just secular, ever hear of Neturei Karta? They actually hate Israel, too.
42. They are a terrorist invasion flotilla
Larry ,   Or Yehuda   (10.21.12)
and should be treated as invaders like any normal country would. You cannot just enter a sovereign country
43. Peaceful ? My foot !
Gabe ,   Canada   (10.21.12)
There is no need to subdue or overpower people who are peaceful. There is nothing peaceful about agent provocateurs. Their ship would make an excellent artificial reef for fish habitat.
44. Bad mother
Sidney ,   USA   (10.21.12)
Just like the Corries. They indoctrinate their children and blame others for the consequences. If people are traitors why would they hesitate to lie about what happened.
45. Peace activism is always welcome. It will triumph some day.
Michael ,   California, USA   (10.21.12)
46. #7 Aarifah from London
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (10.21.12)
Aarifah, you can have any opinion you want but at least base it on fact. In Mavi Marmara, Islamist Erdogan sent trained paramilitary. Barak sent commandos armed with paintball guns so the Turks attacked the soldiers. The soldiers betrayed by Barak, had no choice but to shoot the Turks. Thanks to Barak, some are permanently handicapped. As for Tasers, what do you think of your own police tasering the blind Colin Farmer in Lancashire?
47. 'Estelle' activist: We were tasered??
KATE ,   Israel/uk   (10.21.12)
LIERS Just because the IDF acted very cautiously ,now these stupid people RESORT TO LIES. it is expected when they were not allowed to dock anywhere near Gaza but escorted TO Ashdod.
48. #28 and #41
Igor ,   Germany   (10.21.12)
They hate Israel but to call them self-hating is way off the mark. All the Jewish antisemites I've met are actually narcissist, deep in love with themselves. They hate Israel because Israel is not what they think it should be.
49. Taser?
Alex ,   LOD, Israel   (10.21.12)
I would have shot that eurofilth. Go to Sudan, Syria, Afghanistan, Somalia heck go to China or S Korea. Life in Gaza is so bad that poor people stand in lines for hours to buy IPhone 5s for $2000 ea. It's just horrible to have that problem. I bet they don't have those problems in countries listed above. I have an idea, send flotilla to Israel with badly needed iPhone 5s, we can't even get them here yet.
50. Not true
Sami ,   Kajaani Finland   (10.21.12)
Finns on board say no violence was use. Media is making a bigger deal out of this than it really is.
51. If they were tasered ....
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.21.12)
.... let's see the burn marks. Keep them far away from tasers until they show evidence to back their ridiculous claim. We wouldn't want anyone tasering themselves .....
52. Awww....poor baby!! Go home.
Scott ,   Haifa   (10.21.12)
53. israeli traitor
shimon vega carvajal ,   beer sheva israel   (10.21.12)
yonathan shapira,,traitor against israel and judaism !!!!!!!!!
54. 41 , 48 I can't call them Jews
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (10.21.12)
even preceded with "self hating" . They think that by being "holier than thou" in their anti Israeli ideas , they will be accepted by the other side .
55. tasered by IDF
Albert Niedzviecki ,   Montreal Canada   (10.21.12)
You look for trouble you get trouble. Go protest in Iraq or Iran and see if you get tasered. You're lucky you are alive to cause trouble another day.
56. 35000 dead in Syria but rich Gaza is more important
Rachel   (10.21.12)
57. Bravo Israel! you righfully defended your borders
Trusted one   (10.21.12)
58. Sell the Estelle and give the
Reuven   (10.21.12)
proceeds to terror victims in Sderot. Arrest all aboard qand give them minimum sentences of ten years in prison. That should stop copycat Israel-haters.
59. The only "abuse" activists can claim is tasering
William ,   Israel   (10.21.12)
But they can't prove it. They hope only to ride on the coattails of anti-Israel sentiment of the dregs that support the Estelle in the first place. But the activists will come forth with their claims, have no bruises, no cuts, nothing out of the ordinary wrong with them, and still insist the Israelis abused them. They remind me of the movie Life of Brian when Monty Python actors were yelling to stone a woman who they claimed was a witch. One claimed "She turned me into a newt", which confused the magistrate as he looked perfectly healthy and a human. To which the accuser replied "uh...I got better".
60. Ask saysabout Tasers
Alan ,   SA   (10.21.12)
A taser is used in two different ways.... the first is with the darts which are stored in a little cartridge at the end of the taser.... when the trigger is pressed, the darts will shoot out and hopefully attached into the skin/muscle of a suspect.....when this method is used, it will shut down the motor functions or muscle of the suspect...this is when you usually see the body freeze up and the suspect falls to the ground....he loses muscle control....in this case, only 2 puncture wounds are left from where the prongs enter the skin, they look like two fish hooks but straight the second way a taser is used is with a contact stun...this is where the cop takes the cartridge off and touches the unit directly to the suspects skin, or any body part. this results in pain compliance only and a suspect high on drugs can fight through this. neother case will leave burn marks...you can put the taser impulses to a piece of paper and nothing will happen to the paper
